7.5 US IOOS
The US National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration NOAA is leading the development of an Integrated Oceans Observing System IOOSIOOS. Central to the
success of IOOS is the presence of a Data Management and Communication DMAC
13
system capable of delivering real-time, delayed-mode, and historical data for in-situ and remotely-sensed physical, chemical and biological observations. DMAC Recommended
Web Services and Data Encodings, including SWE standards, are shown in Figure 6.

Regional U.S. IOOS provide increased observations, distinctive knowledge, and critical technological abilities, and apply these towards the development of products to meet
regional and local needs. The Mid-Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing System MARACOOS spans the coastal states from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras. MARACOOS
implementation of OGC SWE standards using a variety of clients Figure 7 was demonstrated during the SWE Maturity Stakeholders Webinar

7.6 ESA SPS satellite tasking
The European Space Agency ESA has implemented the SPS standard for tasking of satellite assets as part of ESA Heterogeneous Missions Accessibility HMA project
15
. HMA is the result of more than five years of coordination and harmonization efforts,
under the auspices of and with the cooperation of the ESA Ground Segment Coordination Body in the critical area of ground segment interoperability
The ESA HMA Feasibility Analysis Service is an extension of the OGC Sensor Planning Service SPS. The OGC SPS provides a standard interface to task any kind of sensor to
retrieve collection assets i.e. sensors and other information-gathering assets. Furthermore, a client can either determine collection feasibility for a desired set of
collection requests for one or more sensorsplatforms, or submit collection requests directly to these sensorsplatforms. Different kinds of assets with differing capabilities as
well as different kinds of request processing systems are supported.

The EO-SPS application profile is flexible enough to handle the variety of programming needs of most EO satellite systems. This means in particular the ability to support
different configurations to access the different stages of planning, scheduling, tasking, collection, processing, archiving and distribution of requests, and the resulting
observation data. The work culminated in open source implementations of the EO SPS extension v2.0 OGC 10-135 extending SPS v2.0 OGC 09-000, as detailed at:

The RADARSAT Constellation Mission RCM is a constellation of three synthetic- aperture radar imaging satellites. RCM is being developed for the Canadian Space
Agency CSA by an industrial team led by MDA Systems Ltd. The mission will be providing distributed and concurrent access to the ordering system through both a web-
based interface and an electronic-based interface. The electronic-based interface will be implemented based on a set of HMA standards for ordering SAR data acquisitions and
SAR data products, and for browsing an archive of raw SAR data. RCM is plans to support a set of OGC standards.
